I had that album, it's excellent. I remember Steve Dickinson telling me about the gig in London - was it the Royal Festival Hall?

I thought Nigel didn't want the old recordings published .
Is that still the case?

I do not know, I never Heard that but they have been published, and I do not mind, the music should be avcailable, imo, it is very good would you not agree

The original members of the band wanted the music to be played, and some of them came to see us and were pleased we were playing the music,

There was an earlier (1983) album, "The Mexborough English Concertina Prize Band" released under Nigel Pickles' sole name. It's available on the usual streaming services, as is the Quartet's album.

I've got that LP — "The Mexborough English Concertina Prize Band" by Nigel Pickles. Found it back in the mid-1980s at, I think, Sandy Paton's Folk-Legacy booth at NEFFA back when the festival was in Natick, Massachusetts.

we played the liberty bell live at kendal festival, and one of the group played an obvious bum note, however we did not look at the person, and nigel said ih a very yorkshire way, i think well do it again and the audiebce clapped thinking we had done it deliberately as a joke. we dit it again perfectly , i said to the guy," how did you know whichof the two ntes to play", his reply illustrated professionalism "i just left it out it was only a passing harmony note.
thats the way to do it, keep your head
